What is your daily routine ? #3

I was wondering how you manage your time ?

You are on stackoverflow. You are on CodeMentor. You are on GitHub (unlike me), Hackhands, linux forums ..ah what not and where not. As I know little things about you, you work for a company as well.

But how you manage your time ? What all techniques you use to maintain the time slots ?

Eagerly waiting for the answer. Hope that change my life too :dancers:

I was wondering how you manage your time ?

(Currently,) I don't have a schedule that I follow. I do a lot of random things, so I just prioritize them based on multiple parameters: the requester (e.g. if it's a good friend then I switch on that task quickly), fun, utility, profit etc.

For example, while I'm doing open-source stuff, I keep a CodeMentor tab opened. When somebody needs help, I stop working on my OSS projects and help her/him.

Also, when I get an idea, I note it down using idea. Then when I'm running without of work I check my saved ideas and start implementing the best one. :bulb:

I try to keep my schedule flexible. When working for a company it's important that I don't work full time because it's just too much for me.

Sleep time is important: I usually go to bed at 10 PM and wake up at 5:50 AM. I consider night time is for sleep and daytime is for work.

Rest is important: I work 6 days a week (Sunday-Friday) and I stop working ~1-2 hours before Friday's sunset and start working again after Saturday's sunset, because I do believe Saturday is a special day (see Genesis 2:3, Exodus 20:8-11), so I never work Saturdays.

Breaks are important: I often make breaks between my tasks because they are good. I usually play piano during these short breaks. :musical_keyboard:

Hope this helps. :grin:
